Between all the 1000’s of coaches and trainers out there, the key to your body transformation success will be in deciding which trainer or coach to choose or to follow. Here I give you a rundown as to who and what I am and what makes me different.

Who am I and why is my story different?

Four reasons

My unique story

My Affiliations

My free information

My life coaching

First – my unique story.

If you are just after the glitzy and flashy and want to attrack more girls with your muscles, well then I might not be the right choice. My story is of someone who walk a hard path in life and had to face death on multiple occasions. That allowed me too developed a special skill set to deal with life on many different levels and at the same time reach success with a body transformation.

Some background – At age 40 I went through a life altering experience (not a good one) – my first ordeal facing death.

Prognosis was bad and it became a matter of life and death for me. Not taking things lying down or listening to the doomsday doctor’s advice, I started my journey of changing myself inside and outside for the better and to become the best version of me and subsequently “re-inventing” my health. It was not just a journey of the body, but a journey in my faith as well. I am not shy to say I am a passionate follower of Jesus Christ and must admit that without Him I would not be here today.

As a result, I underwent a significant transformation and my health increased drastically.

At age 52 I had my best shape ever and look and felt like I was on top of the world.

But the sun was not about to keep shining for me. At 52 while on holiday, I drank dirty water and contracted a life threating virus that very nearly destroyed my liver. So, with my already fragile health, it was extremely bad news for me and I came very, very close to death. For the whole of 2017 I could not gym and was extremely weak and had to watch all my previous 12 years hard work slowly going down the drain week after week, month after month, for 12 months!

Only by early 2018 could I slowly start getting back to working out again.

Few people believed I could ever recover the body I once had. Being over 50 mean a body transformation is even more difficult than being over 40. Many believe that once you lost shape when over 50, it is gone for good! But it was not the first time I was knocked down. This time around it was a bit different. This time I got the system and skills well sorted. For the past 14 years I’ve been designing the ADVANCED SYSTEM II and it is my legacy and life’s work for the older guy to MAKE A GRAND WHOLE-PERSON TRANSFORMATION HAPPEN. So I got the tools and applied them systematically.

So, here I am today, 17 months after the disasterous 2017, going on 55 and getting ready for a photoshoot. I’ve recovered 95% of everything I lost and am very close to my best shape of 52. Reality does not shape what we become, our imagination, faith and dreams does (and off course hard work!).

Second – my affiliations.

Unlike most other coaches and trainers out there I am not affiliated with any brand or company. No supplement brand, no exercise equipment brand or any other bodybuilding related brand has any say or influence over me. This gives you a certain, very important, peace of mind that what I say is not controlled or tinted. I am not scared to speak the truth about supplements and I have made various exposing videos of this shady business. My before and after photos have now been used more than 100 times by supplement companies to promote their products falsely. And it is not just me, they stole many, many guys photos out there and use it falsely to promote a worthless product. No product that has to be marketed by stolen photos can ever be worth anything!

So, if you ever see any of the my photos out there to market a product, then stay far away from that product!

Very, very few supplements are making a real-world difference and this is where I speak the truth. My truth is based upon the latest science studies and not bro-science or hollow half-truth marketing claims.

Thirdly – my free information.

Unlike other coaches and trainers out there I provide just about everything for free. I usually only charge when I have to spend significant personal time to customize a system for a client.

Fourthly – my life coaching

Being through all I went through provided me with certain life skills to help others who find themselves in a dark place. I am helping many people out there and do not ask money for it. This is what I feel God has called me to do. To make a difference out there in some people’s lives.

So, all of the above should give the peace of mind that I am not here just to make a quick buck. I’ve walked the path and I am sharing nearly everything freely and helping people.

Of-course I have to make a living. And that is why I ask for donations from those that can afford it. Otherwise I cannot do what I am doing and have to go and find a regular job!

One of the few things I actually do charge for, is my ADVANCED SYSTEM II. This system is my life’s work and my legacy I want to leave behind. A system specifically designed for the older guy. A system that DELIVER RESULTS! I spend significant time to customize it on many levels for every person. It is a near 100-page focused blueprint step-by-step system for your body and goals to get you to your goalpost and even beyond that. It helps you avoiding all the common mistakes, pitfalls and problems that comes with getting older.

It is a system helping you to, not just transform your body, but becoming a better person on all levels.

I don’t believe in creating just better-looking jerks. I believe in creating people with integrity who are respectful whole human beings.

NEVER take life lying down. Never accept your fate or prognosis. God is much bigger than any health problem or life issue weighing you down. Take life by the horns and rise to be the best version of you. Exceed all your wildest dreams. My fellow over 40’s…it IS possible. I have walked the path and can testify to it. It’s your turn…MAKE IT HAPPEN.

In the deepest south of South Africa you will find me. Dwelling in the most beautiful city in the world, Cape Town.
I live close to God and try to follow in the footsteps of Christ as led the Holy Spirit.
I am a fitness freak right now…but struggle with the cardio – my body just not built for much cardio! The weights I LOVE throwing around! The battle against the weights and intense strength required, is really my cup of tea! I am one of those LOUD guys in gym while training, that’s why I train when as little as possible people around…lol!
Starting now with my building phase (3 months) and me and my training partner is really pushing each other to new heights.
He is more cardio orientated than me so he is currently KILLING ME!
SO 6-PACK, I AM WAITING…SHOW ME HOW DEEP YOUR CUTS CAN GO!
Other passions include Karate and Judo and wrestling (and off course surfing for many years). Karate I did for many years, Judo 4 yrs and for a short period kickboxing until I was knocked silly one time with blood all over and teeth protruding through my lip, but if I have to choose over, I would choose wrestling…simply because of the brutal power against power game with your opponent. Love it.
Love my home theatre hobby, making youtube videos and spending time with family!
Can’t wait for 4K projectors to hit mainstream!
For those interested, this blog is my database of all my fitness and transformation knowledge.
And NO (!) I am not getting any money for it, not selling anything on it and neither do I promote anything on it or getting sponsored by anybody.
My blog is simply where I want to help other guys living a healthier life and become the best they can be, inside and out and ultimately it is my legacy I want to leave my one and only son – now 7 y/o and already eager to get his 6-pack!
I started my healthy living after a very close call with death at age 40 and since then fighting against severe kidney and liver damage. Don’t like talking about it, but this is now 10 years after I was given 2 years to live.
After much hardship one of my main aims now is to assist other guys with healthy living and transforming themselves inside and out. I don’t know how much grace will still be given me, but I live now every moment to be the best I can be. To be the best bodybuilder I can be, the best father, best husband and best friend to those whom my paths crosses. I want to live a life worth living and not just do what excites me or pleases me.
Living with grace everyday, death becomes a closer reality. This is how I view it:
~DEATH~
A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to
Leave the examination room and said,
‘Doctor, I am afraid to die.
Tell me what lies on the other side..’
Very quietly, the doctor said, ‘I don’t know..’
‘You don’t know? You’re, a Christian man,
and don’t know what’s on the other side?’
The doctor was holding the handle of the door;
On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,
And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room
And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said,
‘Did you notice my dog?
He’s never been in this room before.
He didn’t know what was inside..
He knew nothing except that his master was here,
And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.
I know little of what is on the other side of death,
But I do know one thing…
I know my Master is there and that is enough.’
Feel free to contact me directly if you wish.
Reading this far, the last bit important info on me you need to know, is that my anchor in life is Jesus Christ.
Please bear in mind, English is my 2nd language and as a result their might be spelling, grammatical and other language errors in my blog – I do apologise for this!
Wish you all many blessings.
